We investigated whether the treatment with 17β-oestradiol has renal protective effects in male rats with ischaemic acute renal failure (ARF). We also examined if the effect of 17β-oestradiol is accompanied by suppression of enhanced endothelin-1 production in postischaemic kidneys. Ischaemic ARF was induced by clamping the left renal artery and vein for 45min followed by reperfusion, 2 weeks after contralateral nephrectomy. Renal function parameters such as blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine and creatinine clearance were measured to test the effectiveness of the steroid hormone. Renal function in ARF rats markedly decreased 24h after reperfusion. The ischaemia/reperfusion-induced renal dysfunction was dose-dependently improved by pretreatment with 17β-oestradiol (20 or 100µg/kg, intravenously). Histopathological examination of the kidney of untreated ARF rats revealed severe lesions, such as tubular necrosis, proteinaceous casts in tubuli and medullary congestion, all of which were markedly improved by the higher dose of 17β-oestradiol. In addition, endothelin-1 content in the kidney after the ischaemia/reperfusion increased significantly by approx. 2-fold over sham-operated rats, and this elevation was dose-dependently suppressed by the 17β-oestradiol treatment. These results suggest that oestrogen exhibits protective effects against renal dysfunction and tissue injury induced by ischaemia/reperfusion, possibly through the suppression of endothelin-1 overproduction in postischaemic kidneys.
